KerfeApr 30, 2018

In this collection of stories inspired by the art of Dave McKean, there was only one story I couldn't finish. Most were good, but the standouts for me were Catherynne M Valente's "No One Dies in Nowhere", Joe R Lansdales's "Robo Rapid", "All I Care About is You" by Joe Hill, and, far a...

I?ve always loved Dave McKean?s work. Granted, I?ve only see his creations in the context of Neil Gaiman, but I?ve encountered enough to be impressed and enchanted. There?s always something haunting and lingering about his art. It?s like he pulls out the clay of the subcon...

Only one story read so far, The Orange Tree by Maria Dahvana Headley, a fantasy of sorts. A man has a cabinet carved out of a tree, and the tree becomes a female being, though not quite a person. ...

Beautifully designed book with stories based on Dave McKean's art. Stories were kind of a mixed bag, but some of them, especially the Cathryn Valente and Alistair Reynolds ones were excellent. ...

When I got this in the mail, it came with a little card that told me who my book was packed by and that Subterranean Press makes "Readable Works of Art." I absolutely agree. This book is quite beautiful in both presentation and for all the pictures (and stories) inside it.

I had originally picked this up for the new (actually two) short story of Neil Gaiman in it.... [Which as it happens, both were quite a let-down].
This is very much a hit or miss collection of short stories (quite possibly more miss than hit to be honest, with Gaiman's feeling like...
